B V O V : 2 1 other satanic attack, Jesus has already paid the price at the cross. There is no obstacle He has not overcome. King David proclaimed, "I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart…. When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence" (Psalm 9:1, 3). He didn't say if the enemies would fall— but when! Praise brings God's presence, and His presence drives back the enemy (Psalm 22:3). Praise isn't dependent on emotion. It is a sacri ce—a spiritual o ering. In the Old Testament, priests o ered sacri ces when Israel faced impossible battles, and God responded in power. Today, under the New Covenant, every believer is a priest of God. Since Jesus has already made the ultimate sacri ce, the o ering now is the sacri ce of praise. Hebrews 13:15 says, "By him therefore let us o er the sacri ce of praise to God continually…." Luke 17 tells of 10 men who were healed by Jesus of leprosy. When only one returned to glorify God, Jesus asked, "Where are the nine?" Then He said to the one, "Thy faith hath made thee whole" (verse 19). All 10 were cleansed, but the one who praised received full restoration. His faith continued working through praise. His mountain did not stop at the seashore or sink halfway into the sea! No trace of his mountain was left. Whatever the disease had destroyed was restored. That is the kind of power you can have right now in your own life. If you are not familiar with praising God, or it makes you feel uncomfortable, ask God to show you how. You can start by reading the Psalms aloud. They speak of the great and mighty works of God. They praise Him for His goodness, power and mercy. God is faithful to perfect the praises of His people.
